Ar politika yra skirta visiems? Kokie stereotipai vyrauja politikoje? Koks tas ambasadoriaus darbas?

Visus atsakymus į šiuos ir dar daugiau klausimų galėsite išgirsti naujausioje tinklalaidėje kartu su Lietuvos ambasadoriumi Europos Sąjungoje – Arnoldu Pranckevičiumi!

Jaukus pokalbis leis iš arčiau pažvelgti į ambasadoriaus darbą, išgirsti nuomonę apie lyčių lygybės klausimą politikoje ir sužinoti, ar Arnoldas yra Eurovizijos fanas!

Atsakyti į klausimą „Ar šiuolaikinė politika yra pakankamai šiuolaikiška?“ nėra paprasta. Šioje tinklalaidėje mes narpliojame šiuolaikinės politikos ypatumus ir bandome apžvelgti skirtingas sferas, kurios turi įtakos šių dienų politikai.

Turbūt pagalvojus apie šiuolaikiškumą, socialiniai tinklai neišvengiamai papuola po šiuo žodžiu. Žinant tai, mes norėjome išsiaiškinti kaip socialiniai tinklai keičia Lietuvos politiką.

Epizode „Politika + socialiniai tinklai = ?“ kalbamės su dr. Mažvydu Jastramskiu apie socialinių tinklų naudojimą politikoje, kaip politikos personalizacija veikia rinkimus ir ar tikrai socialinių medijų naudojimas politikoje yra šiuolaikiškumo įrodymas?
